Types of Rumors

Player Rumors

How the player is labeled depends on certain actions performed by the player. For example, a player who time travels often may be rumored to be a "Time Traveler" by villagers, or even by villagers of towns that the player has visited.

There are over twenty types of rumors created by villagers. Rumors about the player can change depending on the players' recent activity.

Freshman Mayor - Obtained upon becoming mayor. Cannot be obtained again once it has been switched out.

New Face - Obtained upon moving in. Cannot be obtained again once it has been switched out.

Villager Rumors

Jock villagers may ask to spread rumors about their latest world record, or complain that others say that they are a prince from another planet.

Normal villagers will comment that they will only spread rumors they have seen themselves.

Smug villagers may remark that they have done things with other villagers, but refuse to elaborate on the details.

Snooty villagers will use fabricated examples to show the player that simple rumors can spread very quickly. They will also be concerned if it's rumored that they've been talking about the player behind his/her back.

Uchi villagers will complain that rumors are circulating that they are known for one sport, when it is in fact another.
